List of Ingredients



• 8 cups quick-cooking oats
  
• 1 cup honey
  
• 1 cup maple syrup
  
• 1 cup vegetable oil
  
• 1/4 cup water
  
• 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
  
• 1 Tbsp salt
  
• 1 cup slivered almonds
  
• 1 cup raisins
  






Instructions



1. Place the oats in a large mixing bowl.
   
   
2. In a very large saucepan over medium-high heat, combine honey, maple syrup, oil, water, vanilla extract and salt. As the mixture begins to boil, it will rise up and increase in volume considerably. To prevent it from boiling over, stir and watch closely. Pour the boiling syrup over the oats in the mixing bowl and stir with a wooden spoon until well combined.
   
   
3. Distribute the granola on 2 large cookie sheets and bake in an oven preheated to 325º F for 10 minutes. With a metal spatula, turn the granola over without too much stirring, and bake 10 minutes more.
   
   
4. Add almonds and turn the granola again, but try not to break up the clusters that are forming. Return the granola to the oven and toast 5 to 6 minutes more, or just until the almonds are golden brown; gently stir in the raisins.
   
   
5. Cool the granola completely, then transfer the cooled granola to airtight containers.
